Chapter 6 wrap-up
You have now finished Chapter 6.
In this chapter, we’ve explored the relationship between communication and identity, and considered how fandom, media consumption, digital practices, active curation, and intersectionality can impact how we identify ourselves and are identified by others.
Things to think about…
Write a story about your relationship with a cultural product – it can be a brand, celebrity, news outlet, television show, film, video game, or social media platform. Look back over what you’ve written: what aspects of your identity can you discern? How would you describe those identity aspects – authentic elements of your self; performances; constructions; or a mix?
